Loosening Cindy's ropes, Sophia gently whispered into her ear. "Look at the main culprit who caused Shane's death. So long as you kill her, his death will be avenged.
"Cindy, you've worked for the Walker family for so many years. You must have been deeply loyal to Sky, right? I knew how well you treated Emma in the past.
"Yet, Sky killed Shane because of Emma. Don't you know what Shane did to me?"
Sophia smiled ruthlessly. "After all, when I married into the Walker family, you said that I was a bitch who didn't deserve Sky behind my back.
"Besides, you plotted with Emma and allowed Shane to rape me. But, without Emma's backing, you wouldn't have dared to do that. So, she's the main culprit."
"Don't listen to her, Cindy. She's intentionally sowing discord among us!" Emma cried out. "Sophia ordered Sky to kill Shane! I'm not involved in Shane's death! It's all her fault!"
As she watched Cindy sob in despair, Sophia sneered. "Cindy, Sky will come over and rescue Emma later. It's up to you to get revenge for Shane."
With that, she turned and walked out of the guest room. The moment she stepped outside, she leaned against the wall and slid down weakly.
Just then, Natalie walked over and helped her up.
"I made Sky kill Shane." Lifting her head, Sophia smiled at Natalie. "I left my knife inside so that Cindy would kill Emma. But, I can't guarantee that she'll do that.
"Nat, you should leave with Marcus first. I can't implicate both of you. There aren't any surveillance cameras installed here, so you should leave with him.
"I'll stay here and settle my grievances with Sky and Emma today."
Then, she added, "Nat, help me look for Zachary. He's my psychologist, and he has my medical certificate proving my mental illness."
"What do you mean?" Natalie continued helping Sophia up.
"I have severe depression and manic disorder. Zachary has a record of all my conditions. Once you find him, arrange a good lawyer for me."
The latter continued smiling. "Though he's Zane's older brother, no one knows that he's my psychologist.
"He told me that if I needed his help one day, he'd try my best to assist me when I ask for it."
"Alright." Natalie looked at the guest room. "I'll check on the situation inside. Rest on the couch for a while."
"Alright, please be careful. I left my knife inside, so I'm afraid that Emma would go crazy and attack you."
"Okay."
When Natalie opened the door, she saw Cindy helping Emma to the window. Both of them had opened it and were preparing to escape.
"Emma and Cindy," Natalie called out indifferently. "What are you doing? Are you going to leave without paying for the rent in Sophia's house?
"Oh, yes. I forgot—all your cards have been frozen and confiscated."
Walking forward, Natalie grabbed Cindy and forced a pill down her throat.
In the meantime, Cindy could speak again. She yelled, "Natalie, you're a bitch! I'm going to kill you!"
She rushed toward Natalie, but the latter dodged and pulled her hair instead.
This made Cindy scream in pain. Once Emma saw that, she hurriedly tried to climb out of the window despite her pain. Natalie kicked Cindy and pulled Emma back by her hair. Then, she turned to leave.
"Marcus, I've retrieved Emma and Cindy's hair. Let us leave!"
"Alright."
Standing up, Marcus said, "Sophia, please leave with us."
"No. I'll wait for Sky to arrive."
Sophia smiled. "Thank you for your help, Marcus. I'm sorry. If I have the chance next time, I'll repay the kindness that Nat and you have shown me.
"I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. Please believe in me."
